In any case, I always say: "if you still have to deal with (print) editors, let them be the least-worst of them all". In general, I don't give photos for free. You are killing the industry (that's me!) if you do. I stopped following "causes" after my camera broke, I went flat broke, and nobody cared when I asked for help from having suicidal thoughts. No one gave a dime about how good "an artist" I was. Let your friend find the money if the cause is so worth. In particular, if you are with "the cause" (I can even understand that!), look for a trade publicaton or editor who will care. There are photo communities on the web who will better appreciate and promote your work - look here: http://digitaljournalist.org/ Finally, if you really, REALLY can't make your mind, flip a coin and settle the issue. Decision overkill can be a strong hinder of creativity. After all, we appreciate the input, but we don't demand explanations.
